Monster Hunter Outlanders is now available on Android and iOS across Southeast Asia, giving players in the Philippines and neighboring markets access to Garena’s mobile entry in Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise. The release is being handled by Garena, with development by TiMi Studio Group under Capcom’s supervision.

The mobile title is accompanied by several launch events and new content. Players can earn up to 400 Recruitment Tickets, along with the SSR Adventurer Pyro, SSR Adventurer Luka, and SSR Buddy Kojiro, by taking part in the activities now running in the game. These rewards are tied to the launch program rather than a separate regional announcement.

New monsters and the Charge Blade

The launch also introduces Ruger Aidal, an original Elder Dragon that appears in Aesoland. The area includes several Radiant species, adding additional encounters for players progressing through the mobile game. Garena has also added the Charge Blade to the available weapon roster.

The Charge Blade joins the Great Sword, Long Sword, Dual Blades, Hammer, Lance, Heavy Bowgun, and Bow. The range of weapons gives the mobile release a lineup drawn from the wider Monster Hunter series while keeping the game focused on hunts designed for mobile devices.

  • Platform: Android and iOS
  • Regional availability: Southeast Asia, including the Philippines
  • New weapon: Charge Blade
  • New major monster: Ruger Aidal, an original Elder Dragon
  • Launch event: Trailblazer Guild, running until 30 November

Controller support is available at launch

Monster Hunter Outlanders supports controllers at launch, although the support is limited to selected features. Players can use a controller for hunting and field exploration, while other parts of the game remain outside the supported feature set. The developers said additional controller support will be added through future updates.

That distinction matters for players who prefer physical controls on phones and tablets. The game is designed for touch-screen play, but controller use can cover two of its central activities: moving through the field and taking part in hunts. Garena and TiMi Studio Group have not described the wider controller rollout beyond confirming that it will expand later.

Trailblazer Guild event runs through November

The Trailblazer Guild event is scheduled to run until 30 November. Players can invite friends to create guilds, after which guilds across a server contribute toward a shared level target. If the server reaches that target, all players on the server receive exclusive titles and stickers.

The event gives the Southeast Asian launch a shared server-based activity in addition to the individual rewards and new encounters. Monster Hunter Outlanders is available now on Android and iOS devices in the region, while further information is available through the game’s official website.
